Enjoyed this hostel very much especially the location near Jericho Beach and park. All staff were extremely hospitable and knowledgeable. Dorms were very spacious, clean and quiet. Have recommended this hostel to several people due to the reasons listed above. Unfortunately, it's not available after the middle of October; only for groups.

After arriving in Vancouver from Whistler and having a week of chilled out travelling from Calgary, my friend and I felt quite overwhelmed by the craziness of downtown and surrounding areas and we needed to escape! With a little help from the sat nav and the lonely planet guide book made an escape and headed for Jericho beach and the... More

I stayed at this hostel a number of times over a period of nearly 3 weeks in Vancouver. First of the customer service is spot on - great! They are not only knowledgable at reception, I also found them to be pro-active in their attempts to give directions, advice and ideas I hadn't even thought of (and I'm a seasoned... More

I recently stayed 3 nights in a private room. There is no soundproofing in these "private" rooms and the walls are paper-thin, Got very little sleep....it felt like the four private rooms were just one big dorm. On the first night, there was a baby crying at 4:00am which kept everyone awake and that was the end of my nights... More

Kitchen is spacious and well stocked, restaurant onsite. Staff was very friendly and worked with us on group rate. We were in... More

I was booked into HI Jericho by my tour operator and I wasn't happy. It is so far out of town and not even walking distance to restaurants. We had to eat at the cafe downstairs with a limited menu and a cook that did not want to take your order let alone make you anything (in between popping out... More

Peaceful.. out of the center of the city and the beach is nearby.. But the staff are a horrendously miserable crew. If you are hoping to have an online conversation with anyone lasting more than an hour for a sentence or two this is the place to stay. The woman serving breakfast in the cafe could not have had more... More

I can't say enough good things about this place. Clean and friendly,!. Beds were clean and storage lockers were spacious. The beach was fantastic!!!!! So easy to access the gardens, the mountains and downtown, the public transportation in this city cannot be beat! The Vancouver Folk Music Festival is here ! http://thefestival.bc.ca/#
